What is Markdown and why do developers love it?

Markdown is a lightweight markup language created by John Gruber in 2004, with the goal of being easier to read and write than HTML. Markdown has become the de facto standard for technical writing and documentation. Why is Markdown popular? Easy to learn: Syntax is simple, only takes a few minutes to grasp the basics. Readability: Even raw Markdown is easy to read, unlike HTML with many tags. Portable: Plain text files, can be opened with any editor. Version control friendly: Git diff displays changes clearly. Widely supported: GitHub, GitLab, Notion, Slack, Discord, Reddit, Stack Overflow, and thousands of other platforms. Convertible: Easily convert to HTML, PDF, DOCX, and many other formats. Focus on content: Write content without getting distracted by formatting UI.
